Five staff of the National Parks organisation were empowered as special agents of police in
2006. Two staff are remaining, and new staff are on the waiting list for the police course. The
two existing special agents of police on staff are able to issue warnings and process verbal for
violations. The maximum penalty for damage to fauna, flora or landscape of the National
Park is Naf 5,000 (US$2,809). This is low however there have been no violations in the
National Park and therefore it is considered sufficient for effective enforcement. |
